Food Joke

I have my changed my system for labeling homemade freezer meals. I used to carefully note in large clear letters, "Meatloaf" or "Pot Roast" or "Steak and Vegetables or"Chicken and Dumplings" or "Beef Pot Pie."However, I used to get frustrated when I asked my husband what he wanted for dinner because he never asked for any of those things. So, I decided to stock the freezer with what he really likes.If you look in my freezer now you`ll see a whole new set of labels. You`ll find dinners with neat little tags that say: "Whatever," "Anything," "I Don`t Know," "I Don`t Care," "Something Good," or "Food." My frustration is now reducedbecause no matter what my husband replies when I ask him what he wants for dinner, I know that it is there waiting.
